Hello World!

Well, well it is the time to STEP UP my game!

Is this like a pen plotter made using Arduino? I have been wanting to do that for a while; like drawing a given image on paper where the pen is controlled by Arduino commands. Did you write your own application for this?

I really want to do it but I am kinda clueless on how to actually start... 😅

Any advice for me?

Good job, young Padawan :)

Hello wood!

Thanks guys.
@Aditi this is a little more hard to do, already did the pen cnc and ditched it.
Still, I recommend, if you get a few old DVD Roms to start there.
I did my first (with DVD rom steppers) and this one just to learn.
Check out instructables.com that is my main source for info along with YouTube.
I'm controlling using GRBL wich is a library (more of a framework) that you flash into the arduino and control the arduino from the computer.

To learn I recommend:
Buy a few 28BJY steppers, they already come with their drivers.
Then get 10 L293D stepper shields. These are very cheap, can drive both steppers and DC motors and are great for learning.
Then buy a CNC shield V3 wich is GRBL compatible.

For the CD-Rom steppers I recommend the L293D shields, get a few (some CD-Roms have DC motors instead of steppers), scrap them (save the 3 motors, one stepper, one DC and one solaroid) and there are 2 very strong magnets also.
I will only build H-type CNCs, that is the strongest config. (Separate X from Y for stability)
